The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering and the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology are seeking applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the area of space habitat systems. The position is expected to be a joint appointment between both schools. Multidisciplinary collaboration with related research groups and colleges at Georgia Tech is highly encouraged. Preference will be given to candidates at the assistant professor level, but appointments at the associate professor or professor level will be considered for qualified candidates.

Exciting challenges await the next generation of research engineers and scientists to create long duration human habitation systems for planetary and deep space exploration. Faculty candidates are sought with expertise in one or more of the following areas: space habitat structural design and construction, remote surface vehicles and exploration, in situ resource utilization, and human life support and supply systems. Design of structures in the extreme conditions of deep space provides unique opportunities in terms of new problems for mechanics and new challenges for structural design and engineering. The successful candidate will be an expert in structural engineering and mechanics who will make a connection between civil and aerospace engineering disciplines. We are particularly interested in the design and analysis of novel structures that can withstand the extreme conditions of outer space. The candidate’s potential for career impact, growth, and creativity will be considered in addition to their specific area of expertise. We seek outstanding individuals who will conduct impactful research, teach graduate and undergraduate students, and create and sustain innovative programs to solve modern problems in space exploration. A demonstrated ability to conduct research and a strong commitment to education are required.

Georgia Tech is a top?ranked public research university situated in the heart of Atlanta, a diverse and vibrant city with great economic and cultural strengths. The Institute is a member of the University System of Georgia, the Georgia Research Alliance, and the Association of American Universities. Georgia Tech prides itself on its technology resources, collaborations, high?quality student body, and its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The search committee requests that application packages be submitted in one pdf file to ae-facsearch@aerospace.gatech.edu. Application package should be labeled Job ID #SHS18 and include a cover letter, two-page research and teaching statements, a detailed resume including a list of research publications, and the names and contact information of four professional references. Applications will be continuously accepted until the position is filled; however, screening of applications will begin on January 1, 2019. Candidates must have received their doctorate in a relevant field such as Civil Engineering, Environmental Engineering, or Aerospace Engineering by the start of employment. A background check must be completed prior to employment. The teaching assignment will include both undergraduate and graduate courses. The start date is negotiable but the anticipated start is August 2019.

Georgia Tech is an equal opportunity employer and will not discriminate against any employee or applicant on the basis of age, color, disability, gender, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any classification protected by federal, state, or local law.

About Georgia Tech - School of Civil and Environmental Engineering

The School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Georgia Tech has a long tradition of excellence in engineering education. We believe that our strong reputation is based on several factors, including our attention to engineering fundamentals, investments in state-of-the-art technology, and the world-class scholars that comprise CEE's faculty.
Civil and environmental engineering are broad and diverse engineering disciplines that work on many facets of improving the human condition. The construction of all things big and small are long-standing examples of civil engineering projects from clean drinking water, to designing and implementing efficient and safe transportation systems, to constructing buildings and bridges that survive seismic activity, to building dams for hydropower and flood control. Today our faculty and students are working on problems that go far beyond these traditional areas to provide growing populations with innovative solutions needed to survive in a global society. Civil and environmental engineers both focus on the needs of people.
The need for civil and/or environmental engineers will only increase in the future as society copes with expandin...g urbanization, decaying infrastructures, global climate change, and an increase in the human population. The civil and environmental engineering job markets provide opportunities for our graduates both nationally and internationally. Earning a bachelor's degree in civil or environmental engineering at Georgia Tech will prepare our graduates for a future career in an engineering discipline that is expanding and changing in concert with the world in which we live in. We encourage well-qualified prospective students to consider this long-standing, dynamic, and broad engineering discipline as their academic program of choice and to join the school where we believe, "People are our priority and the world is our laboratory."
